Everton set to win race for second Chelsea star

The Ghanaian ace – who starred for his nation at the World Cup – is understood to be on the verge of moving to Goodison Park on loan after selecting the Toffees from a list of around 15 clubs thought to have been interested in him.

Atsu signed for the Blues from Porto last summer but spent the 2013/4 campaign in Holland with Vitesse Arnhem – whom the Londoners have a close working arrangement with.
